The Krandor Rebellion refers to two separate events in M41 in the Imperial Krandor System, a system in Segmentum Obscurus rich in minerals.[1]

First Krandor Rebellion

Taking place in 795.M41 throughout the Krandor system, uprisings against Imperial authority erupted spontaneously. They are thought to be orchestrated by a number of rebel groups that had not been seen since the Fourth Quadrant Rebellion such as the Followers of the Shining Deity, Cult of Many Tentacles, and the Red Robed Brotherhood. The Cadian 23rd Regiment brutally put down the uprising, with both military and civilian casualties high.[1]

Second Krandor Rebellion

A second rebellion in the Krandor System took place in 853.M41, this time centered on the world of Krandor III.[1] This time the uprising was caused by the Alpha Legion, who whipped up[2] Krandor's Chaos Cults into action, which caused them organize Mutants, Psykers, and other rogue outcasts of the world against their Imperial oppressors. As the Chaos forces scour the surface of Krandor III[1], the Alpha Legion[2] entered orbit and captured Krandor's orbital and moon-based defense stations.[1] A combined force of the Imperial Fists, Fire Lords and Revilers were dispatched to deal with the threat, but found the world beyond redemption.[2] Acting quickly, the Imperial Fists led the other Chapters in evacuating key artefacts and Administratum personnel from Krandor III, before they enacted an Exterminatus upon it.[1]
